JaDine shares new #ForeverLove with Fans/Supporters. #TeamReal, Jollibee throws kilig get-together at SM Mall of Asia
To celebrate their new Forever Love, James Reid and Nadine Lustre (popularly known as the on- and off-screen love team JaDine), together with Jollibee, the nation’s number one fastfood brand, surprised their avid followers with the New Forever Love Fans Day last August 3, 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall in Pasay City.
Filled with special performances and fun activities, the event also allowed JaDinenians to ask their idols about their relationship, where the love birds gamely revealed the sweet and spicy side of their relationship since being officially together over five months ago. James shared that Nadine has done a lot of things that he finds so sweet like the surprises she prepared for his last birthday. For her part, Nadine says James is also sweet in his own way, and what she finds as the sweetest gesture he did for her was when he wrote a song for her.


Aside from enjoying kilig moments, the two added that their being both fun-loving and adventurous further spices up their relationship. “We have been traveling a lot together for work and being able to do a lot of adventures during these travels really adds spice to our relationship. Our latest one was when we went to New York where we were able to do a lot of things. Adding excitement to our relationship as well is the difference in our personality – like she’s a morning person while I am an evening person – so there’s the challenge of finding middle ground to make it work,” said James.





JaDine said that they also bond a lot over food such as their #NewForeverLove – the NEW Sweet-Spicy BBQ Burger Steak, which is made of 100 percent pure beef patty topped with Sweet-Spicy BBQ sauce and corn kernels and served with steamed rice. Prior to the newest twist to the leading fastfood chain’s well-loved Burger Steak, JaDine had also shared kilig moments over the Jollibee Classic Burger Steak, which they have dubbed as their “Forever Love.”

“We love both the Classic and the Sweet-Spicy BBQ Burger Steak. It is also real to say that ‘sweet-spicy’ describes the kind of relationship that we have now – nakaka-kilig sa sweet and delightfully spicy,” said Nadine.

As a mommy of 2 kids, giving the best for them is a must. Check all the necessary things to assure that the correct and proper care is achieve.

They say mothers know best but sometimes, even mothers need help too when it comes to making the right decision for their child, especially when it comes to their health. It is normal for moms to seek child care advice and parenting tips from experts as well as from family and friends with parental experience. However, there will be instances when they would end up more confused and less confident to make a decision after hearing varying recommendations or contradicting views.
NIDO3+ launches #CheckTheLabel, and educational campaign to encourage mothers to read and have a better understanding of food labels, so they can make smarter and healthier choices for their child. By checking the label, moms can verify nutritional claims, compare brands and choose which one offers the best value for money.

There's an instance during Grocery time that I take much time in checking the labels of the food that I am going to buy, most specially the expiration date. Sometimes if I am with my kids they felt that it's a decade already inside the grocery store. Well, that's a mommy who always check the items to make sure it is safe to serve for her family.

How To Read Labels
When checking food labels, take a look at the ingredients which are listed in the order of highest to lowest quantity. Watch out for health-sensitive ingredients such as sugar, salt, saturated fat, and sodium. When it comes to these, moderation is always key to better prevent the risk of obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases.
Next, review the nutrition facts. It is important to go through each one to determine whether or not a particular food product meets the daily nutritional requirements of children, especially during their crucial growing-up years. Knowing the nutritional content can determine if a child is eating a healthy, balanced diet.

Another good reason to check the label is to identify nutrients that are unique to a brand. Not all food products like milk are created the same, so choose the one that provides for your child's needs, and more.
Developed by the best of Nestle Research, NIDO3+ is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS, millions and millions of live good bacteria that maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, which in turn help strengthen the immune system. This unique pro biotic can be found in every glass of NIDO3+ along with other essential nutrients such as: Prebio 3, indigestible fibers that serve as food for good bacteria to grow and survive; DHA, ALA, LA and Taurine to support proper brain structure, and high levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development.

Sarah Lahbati Checks The Label

Lending her voice and support to the campaign is proud NIDO3+ mommy, Sarah Lahbati. Having experienced the same challenge when it was time for her to choose a growing-up-milk for Zion when he turned three, the first-time mom learned that the best way for her to make a decision was to do research herself and check the labels on her options. And by precisely checking the label, Sarah Lahbati is assured that she made the right choice with NIDO3+.
During the event Sarah Lahbati shared that she experienced so many suggestions from her parents, in-laws and even relatives on how to choose the right food for her child. “Trust your instinct, do your own research, at the end of the day your the mother and you have to trust your instinct, whatever you do shopping for food or milk, you must read the label.”, Sarah said. Take a glimpse on the video of Sarah Lahbati during the event.



Everyone will have opinios on what will be best for your child. So how do you really know what is best fro him? Simple - #CheckMoMuna, #CheckTheLabel!

Our very own Asia's Pop Sweetheart Julie Anne San Jose releases her new album under GMA Records entitled “Chasing The Light”.

Even before the release of the said album, her carrier single and one of her composition “Naririnig Mo Ba” had topped the iTunes charts upon its digital release last June. The songs is about faith in love and the hope of feeling in love again, which anyone can relate to.
According to the Kapuso singer-actress her album is closely similar to her recently released EP, “Forever” (released under VIM Entertainment and distributed by GMA Records). “Chasing The Light” is more mature in the way na nag-evolve yung 'genre. It's different, kasi yung nauna kong albums with GMA Records, parang medyo ballad. I think my fans and I are on the same page when it comes to the kind of music I would make. I think they will like the album just how they liked my EP,” Julie Anne relates.
Julie Anne is into writing songs, and she is so proud to tell to all her supporters that the 2 songs included in the album is her self-written lyrics, the “Not A Game” and “Naririnig Mo Ba Ako”. During the Blogcon, Bloggers asked her to sing a little on her composition. Here is the video;



When Julie Anne was asked about her love life, she answered it with no hesitation, this is what I like about Julie Anne. She admitted that she has been dating the hunk Benjamin Alves. They've been tweeting to one another as well. On the other hand, Benjamin Alves was very vocal about his admiration to Julie Anne. Take a glimpse and see the twinkling eyes of Julie Anne when she was asked about her love life.




She also collaborated with international hiphop recording artist C-Tru, who has high regard for the Kapuso star's talent.
“As a Filipino-American with deep roots in the Philippines. It is an honor to collaborate with talented local artists such as Julie Anne. It's amazing to be able to connect the Filipino culture here in the U.S. with my kababayan back home through the universal langauge of music,” C-Tru claims.

As an advocate for OPM, Julie Anne is also proud to have collaborated with one of the contemporary composers in the local music industry Edmund Perlas, who has worked with Julie Anne in her previous albums, feels thrilled to be working again with the GMA Artist Center star.
Edmund believes that Julie Anne has the power to inspire dreamers like him. “This is all surreal to me. Never did I imagine that I would be writing songs for big-name stars who I just used to watch on TV and now, I am actually meeting and working with them. I still can't believe that I am actually contributing to OPM. And I am grateful that Julie Anne has inspired me to do what I'm most passionate about.”

The album's title track “Chasing The Light” also gave Julie Anne a chance to sing another Agat Obar-Moralles composition. Agat was also the one who composed her previous hits. “I'll Be There” (from her self-titled debut album) and “Right Where You Belong” (from her sophomore album “Deeper”).
What's nice and good to hear about Julie Ann San Jose is when she graduated with flying colors last May, she managed her time wisely for her singing career and her studies. Congrats Julie Anne! She added also that hopefully by next year she will take masteral and thinking to teach Philippine Theater.

Here are some of the videos during the interview with Ms. Julie Anne San Jose:

The Zenfone 3 family just got bigger and bolder! ASUS Philippines confirms the arrival of its newest addition to the ZenFone 3 smartphone series, the ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone3 Max together with the three phones slated to launch in August in the country.

Conceived with sophistication and affordability in mind, these two products have outdone their previous predecessors with sophisticated design, a world-class camera, reliable performance, and unparalleled, lasting longevity.

Beauty and Elegance Inside Out
The ZenFone 3 Laser and Zenfone 3 Max features a 13MP camera with the latest Sony IMX214 sensor that captures stunning photos without any lag. The ZenFone 3 Laser in particular is able to achieve focus in just 0.03 seconds, and its laser has an operational range of 1.5, twice compared to other smartphones.

This camera also has an industry-leading Low Light mode with pixel-merging technology that captures 400%-brighter photos at night or in extreme low-light scenes – all that without the need for any flash. Meanwhile, their Backlight (Super HDR) mode can see through daytime shadow with superb clarity, while its Super Resolution mode captures detailed images at resolutions of up to 52MP.

The 5.5-inch ZenFone 3 Laser and 5.2-inch ZenFone 3 Max sport a sophisticated aluminum alloy with design elements that add visual aesthetics and an easy, comfortable grip.

Both phones have a finely sandblasted matt surface and a gently rounded edge, combined with a refined metallic-chamfered edge surrounding its display.

Both also sport the quintessential and ergonomic fingerprint sensor placed near the top of its rear panel, allowing the index finger to naturally rest on it. The fingerprint sensor allows it to rapidly unlock the phone, using authentication by other apps.

Screen time can also be family bonding time. Whether you like to snuggle up on the couch with your kids during the weekends, or you prefer to keep cartoon-watching with your kids to a good ten minutes before bedtime, Netflix respects your choice. In fact, you get to choose what your kids watch, when they watch and how long to watch for.

If you’re a first-timer, here are some simple Netflix hacks to get you started:

Create profiles for your kids. With the ‘Manage Profiles’ feature, you get to create up to 5 different user profiles within a Netflix account. Sibling rivalry? Solved. Control data usage. With the ‘Cellular Data Usage’ settings in your Netflix app, watching Netflix on-the-go doesn’t have to bust your data caps. One gigabyte of data can stream up to 3 hours of TV shows and movies!

Set parental controls. Keep those curious little fingers away from mature content, so you can relax while they have fun.

Identify shows by characters. For visual learners, they can scroll through the row of characters at the top of the Kids section and select their favorites. Pause and play. Assure your kids that their favorite character will remain just the way you left them, allowing you to easily continue watching where you left off.

We’ve also put together a list of shows that are perfect for co-viewing and parent-child interaction, providing your family with a good dose of bonding during playtime, while giving your child space to grow and learn, no matter their age. Happy streaming!

Leading telecoms and digital services provider PLDT has opened the country’s biggest data center at Makati City, the country’s premier business district, to serve a wide range of organizations, particularly those handling vital data such as banks, business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, IT and content providers and government institutions. ​

Set up by PLDT subsidiary ePLDT, the newest VITRO Data Center sits on a nearly two-hectare property with 3,600-rack capacity. It is equipped with systems and facilities to guarantee continuous operations, ensuring that businesses can utilize robust and scalable digital infrastructure, as well as world-class 24/7 technical support capabilities. ​
“PLDT is investing heavily in our VITRO data centers as we believe that these facilities are one of the basic building blocks of the country’s digital economy. This data center will be a vital resource for companies as they ramp up their own digital services,” said PLDT Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan. ​

The new earthquake-resistant, purpose-built data center in Makati is built on solid ground without seismic faults within its proximity. In addition, special architectural techniques and materials planning were implemented to provide the data center with fire-rated concrete walls and flood-protected design. ​
As a result, VITRO Makati is rated to withstand earthquakes up to intensity eight in the Richter scale. The data center is also compliant with global design standards. ​

“'PLDT recognizes how vital it is for enterprises to ensure stable operations despite changes in the external environment. The need for scalable and secure hosting facilities to house and manage critical platforms is also growing in importance as the enterprise becomes more data-driven as a result of continuous digital transformation initiatives," said PLDT Executive Vice President and ePLDT President and CEO Eric R. Alberto. ​
To address the growing concern over digital security, VITRO Makati offers one of the most secure and impenetrable structures in the Philippines with an eight-layer security design, guaranteeing that data and applications will always be protected. ​

Each major component of the facility is configured with redundant counterparts in place that seamlessly operate to anticipate adverse events, including power generators and Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) units, among others. ​

As part of the VITRO network of data centers, VITRO Makati also serves as a carrier-neutral Internet Exchange facility that provides numerous IP peering services, enabling access to local and international content. ​
VITRO Makati is also a Nexcenter-certified facility, allowing its clients to use globally standardized Nexcenter services of world leader NTT Com at some 140 locations in 84 cities of 19 countries, in addition to NTT Com’s Arcstar Universal One private-network service, which is already available in the Philippines and which is largely used by the country’s BPO industry. ​

“As the world becomes even more digitally connected, Filipino enterprises must leverage on new technologies to ensure the security and resilience of their operations. PLDT’s digital platforms can enable enterprises to take advantage of disruptive technologies, secure their operations, and promote growth in their businesses,” said Alberto. ​
The PLDT Group now operates seven data centers all over the country with a total rack capacity of nearly 7,000 to serve the needs of small, medium, and large enterprises across various industries, including banking, financial services, outsourcing, telecoms, and gaming.

We love Chinese food! We tried different Chinese Restaurants and if you follow and read this blog you will notice that I have featured different Chinese Restaurants here. Now, I will tell you my experience during the opening of Lido Cocina Tsina at Mindanao Ave, their newest branch.
The event started with the Blessing of the store and a Dragon and Lion Dance who dance around the store and made their usual ritual in welcoming luck and shooing away the bad ones.



Definitely after the blessing a sumptuous dinner with their delicious dishes offered by Lido Cocina Tsina.
Here are the featured foods for everyone to savor the taste and flavor, the Pugon Roasted Asado; Machurian Wings, Stir Fried Vegetables and their Pansit.





According to Ms. Annie Wong, President of Lido Cocina Tsina the restaurant's top sellers are the Manchurian Wings, Drunken Lechon Macau and their famous Pugon-Roasted Asado.

Their Pugon Roasted Asado remains one of the most popular menu item until today, it is made only from the choicest cured pork loin and roasted in the restaurant's brick oven using firewood, a method that locks the essential smoky aromatic flavors in the meat.

While the Manchurian Wings, according to Ms. Annie Wong, it took time before the taste was perfected. When she finally created the perfect taste for that wing she named it as Manchurian Wings. Manchurian is a place in China where people loves the sweet and spicy taste of food.
Ms. Annie Wong shared that they choose Mindanao Ave as their latest branch, strategically speaking, this is one of the largest Barangay in Quezon City and this location is very vibrant because there are Businesses and Residential areas around.
Since they'll be celebrating their 80th Anniversary this year, they have a lot of surprises for their customers plus they will introduce additional dish into their menu. Watch out for this.
